{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{Happy Monday Y'all}

 My usual Sunday post surely didn't happen this week. Lesson for me is: Sometimes, STUFF just happens....LOL!  We've been trying to catch up on projects around our home and as most know my porch has been one of them. We added a welcome sign that would you believe I found under a bed in the guest room (AKA as the Buck Room) It's not exactly what I want but works for now for us. It is a pretty sign though. Marty and I enjoyed yet another day date. This time though it was on a Saturday as he is not retired yet. We found a cute little Cuban bistro that was quaint and enjoyed a good lunch. A little shopping was on the agenda. We came home and hung those lovely ferns that Marty so faithfully tends too. Thank the Lord cause I can't even reach them to water them without my step ladder!  We sealed the swing my FIL made and actually sat out on the front porch to enjoy the new ceiling fans. Now to take the stickers off the fern pots! LOL!  Despite the fickle weather we feel we

{Enjoying The Little Things In Life}

  I hope that you all are enjoying your Sunday afternoon. Our family has left to go home after our Sunday dinner so now I am sitting down to enjoy a cup of hot black  tea with honey. I should be sitting outside on the porch drinking my tea but it's a tad chilly today. Us Floridians just aren't sure how to dress these days for our weather. On Saint Patrick's day I decided to brew myself a cup of green tea and since I was having a very heathy tea I decided to have a shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate. LOL! I actually stumbled across the small box of shortbread cookies in my pantry that apparently I had tucked in the far back corner behind some boxes of dry items. These cookies had been gifted to me in a gift basket in February. I suddenly remembered that I had hid them in the pantry so the grands wouldn't eat them. However, I hid them from myself too! LOL!  Do you like green tea? I have several friends that don't but I love mixing them with other teas or just havin

{Front Porch Spring Cleaning}

Though it's not officially "Spring" and the weather in Florida is fickle at this time, I have been doing a little Spring cleaning. We have been cleaning our front porch! WHEW! What a job. Marty finally told me that I have entirely too much on that porch! LOL! Our home has the looks of a Ranch style rustic look to it so my porch is long. It's actually 64 feet long so you know...I gotta have a few things to put on the porch, right? We washed down everything, dusted, swept, moved and still have things to do but as my granny would have said, "Rome wasn't built in a day".   Yes, I have a Baker's rack on my front porch. I love the old thing and I change out the decor from time to time. Just depends on what "kind of mood I'm in at the moment".  Decided for now to keep my little mix-matched front porch decor. I will admit though I've been torn a little between decorating seasonal on the porch or just keeping my mix matched. It's so mu

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!
